MGF, Master Grumble Framer
After about three years in business I am able to do what I think I should do....that being to attend a Framing School! I have not been fortunate enough to learn this craft firsthand from an experencied framer. I have learned by reading, trial and error, etc. I get along fine....I do turn out a quality product...but I want more!
I know there are several schools ( the latest issue of Framing Business News lists the main ones) but I need some input from my fellow Grumblers. I live in northcentral Indiana. There is a LJ school in Chicago. One week...$795. My brother lives in Chicago...free R&B! Of course I know "of" LJ even though we do not currently carry any of their mouldings, etc. Does anyone have any experience with this school or any others? And what are your thoughts on Framing Schools in general? I know I can attend seminars at various trade shows (have done a couple) but a week long "intense" type training may be better....
I know I can't learn it all at one of these things but I don't know what else could be as much help.
Any thoughts???
